Description
Hikers enjoy the view of the panorama that they cannot take their eyes off for hours. Highlight on the route: the reflection of the Matterhorn in the Riffelsee.
Athletes who want to optimize their red blood cells take on this roughly 900 m altitude difference as altitude training. Ideal for this: the joint-friendly return with the Gornergrat Railway to the village, with panoramic views and views of the Matterhorn.
Viewing platform on the Gornergrat
Intermediate stations of the Gornergrat Railway if the running training was too tough
Route partly the same as for the Gornergrat - Zermatt Marathon (each July)
